🔍 Match Breakdown
Two giant-killers collide in this high-voltage second round. Parks brings the explosive firepower and confidence of a top-level scalp, while Jacquemot counters with hometown advantage, defensive resilience, and smart point construction. Parks will need to keep her unforced errors low, especially on the slow clay, where Jacquemot’s retrieval skills can turn the tide in long rallies. Momentum and nerves will play a big role—whichever player handles the pressure of “winnable favorite” better likely comes through.
